Disclaimer: I don't own them, I'm just borrowing them

A/N: Firstly, the idea for this fic came to me just as I was about to go to sleep, as they do, so I scribbled it down and went to bed. However, I Hadn't thout that far ahead storywise, soI'm still adapting it.

Secondly, This story will be bringing in som background that isn't nessicarily cannon, (not as far as G1 etc is concerned anyway) so sorry if that bothers anybody.

Thirdly, please leave feedback, so I know if I'm shaping this into a good story. Thanks!

He knew the Autobots wondered why he didn't come forward before or after the battle for the allspark. He was about to arrive when a pain shot through him. A pain he had not felt for millennia, a pain that was coming straight from the bond with his brother. So sharp and strong was this pain that it broke down the firewalls that the two brothers had built since the start of the war, and their separation into the different factions.

And it wasn't just a crack or a break in his brother's firewalls, it was a shattering of all of his barriers. It could have allowed Barricade to view secrets of the Autobot army, and their strategy, and help himself hide and survive on this planet. But for some reason he didn't.

He instead went to soothe the pain, to share it, allowing his brother to cope more easily. As the first wave of pain hit him, he cried out, not just at the pain, although it was extreme, but because of the image – no the feeling which came with the knowledge that Megatron had killed Him. Megatron had killed Jazz, ripping him apart, and now his brother was in indescribable pain.

For weeks he kept out of sight of both the Autobots and humans, as he knew he could not deal with this pain in his spark and a face off with an Autobot.

After weeks of this constant pain, the pain ebbed, and although it was still there, he could sense hope coming from his brother. Confused, he pushed through his bond with his brother, and received an image of a thought – the medic was bringing Jazz back. But there was also doubt. The medic did not have the correct parts to make the sabotouer's exoskeleton.

Barricade knew it would kill his brother if Jazz would not be fixed. He made his decision.
